I missed out due to being in Canada until 1969 on all F-Macs early stuff and what I have subsequntly heard does not stir me like Rumours did way back in 1978.
Further to Walter's listing I also have the relatively rare (vinyl-only) Buckinham Nicks "demo" album
This is not currently officially available as a CD***, but it is brilliant
No my copy does not have their autographs as on this example from an ebay auction last August

I seem to recall*** Mick Fleetwood heard either that album or the pair recording it and that chance encounter prompted him to invite them to join the then current and languishing Fleetwod Mac group, and the rest is History.
*** er um I just found that there
was available a special collectors edition CD
Details are at:-

I also found bootleg CD artwork
which will be useful when I get around to making a CD from the vinyl for my own enjoyment
and from a review on that Bonus CD page:-
"The story out there is that one day Mick Fleetwood entered a recording studio and "Frozen Love" was playing over the PA. He was so blown away by it that he asked who it was, and the rest as they say, is history. There is even the original version of "Crystal" on this record, which Mac redid on their self titled LP"
Back in September whilst on a visit to the San Fransisco area I was pleased when we took a guided tour and visited Sausalito where Rumours was recorded back in 1977.
I also have a treasured VHS tape telling the background to the making of Rumours which is
now available as a DVD
